TT artisan 25mm f/2.0 on Canon RF mount experiences?

Dear R community. Recently it seems that TT Artisans have added an RF-mount version of their new 25mm f/2 manual lens (for $65 or €75!). https://www.dpreview.com/news/6963154172/ttartisan-releases-55-25mm-f2-lens-for-aps-c-camera-systems

I was looking for a very lightweight, compact (basically 'pancake') around 30-40mm for my RP. Not so worried that its an APS-C rather than a FF.

Have never used an MF (totally manual) lens on my Canons (100D, 60D and since 2 weeks an RP) so I have some beginners questions:

1. there is no electrical contacts on this lens; to get the correct exposure do I have to set manually on my RP the same aperture as on the lens, or with TTL it just knows what exposure to use?

2. To set up the RP to use a manual lens I need to a) set 'focus mode' to manual (shoot/menu tab 7) b) enable MF peaking setting (Shoot/tab 8) and then enable 'release shutter without lens' (C.Fn/Cust Fct III/tab 7).

Anything else to do?
